Wow. It's been absolute eons since I remembered this blog, and felt any inclination to write in it. Also feels slightly odd, since I'm living a stationary life in Boston, and no longer satiating my wanderlust in Barcelona. But still the wanderlust comes flirting..
I'm mostly feeling the need to spell things out, to see where I am, considering that yesterday was the year anniversary of me peacing out for Barcelona, which is insanely hard to comprehend. Looking at my life now, it's easy to feel that Spain was a dream, a blip on my past horizons and yet at the same time, I think about it every day. Which hardly seems healthy but its the truth.
If I were to paint a picture of where I'm at right now, it would look like this: full-time MSW grad student studying global social work who has a 16 hour internship working with teen parents at a high school and a part-time office assistant job at a condominium, who also participates in a bi-weekly meeting for an upcoming service trip to Jamaica with Boston College undergrads. Sounds hefty, a bit much, yet I can't help feeling restless. Always the restlessness, even when I'm where I know I need to be at this point in my life. Kayak and American Airline have become my best friends as I search for any deals that will take me away from Boston. Not that I'm unhappy by any means. I just feel like I'm in this waiting period, doing what needs to be done so that way I can take off again and work internationally, only this time with a reputable degree and a great deal more experience.
This feels almost angsty, though I never meant for it to sound that way. I guess I'm just feeling contemplative, and slightly jealous of my friend Erin who is currently gallavanting across Southeast Asia for 3 months. Ah well,we'll see where I am at this time next year!
Paz
